<p>Test scores aren’t consistent. You need a 700+ in both CR and Writing.</p>

<p>Grades are fine. Anyway, if you can get those SAT scores and if you DON’T need financial aid, you should get into CMC ED I or II. There is no EA at CMC. Otherwise, CMC is a reach (RD).</p>

<p>Duke ED is also a reach.</p>

<p>Thx a ton! I have one more question. Do you mean that applying for financial aid will reduce my chance of getting in CMC?</p>

<p>Yes, your chances will fall significantly if you apply for financial aid at CMC. However, if you get a better SAT score, it’s fine if you want to compete for their full-tuition merit aid. :slight_smile: Is that what you meant by EA btw? Because that’s not EA. That’s just submitting your application early for RD.</p>
